MA H1684

Creates civil liability for individuals who summon police without reasonable suspicion of a crime or imminent threat, when motivated by the target's race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, age, disability, or sexual orientation

Applies the same liability standard to intentionally selecting a person or property for harm, causing property damage, or causing physical injury or death based on protected class status

Allows victims to pursue civil actions seeking injunctive relief, damages, or other appropriate legal remedies

Courts may issue injunctions to prevent further violations without requiring proof of actual injury or damage

Uses a "reasonable person" standard to determine whether the caller lacked legitimate reason to suspect criminal conduct or an imminent threat
